Sažetak
The paper discusses numerical solving of the problem of impact between railcars in manoeuvring operations. The discrete model has been applied in which the characteristics of inter-railcar couplings are non-linear functions. It is assumed that the cars have their centres of gravity on the coupler centreline. The system of non-linear differential equations has been solved using the mathematical packet "Mathematica". This allows, in a simple way, the study of dynamic behaviour in the impact between differently set compositions. The results of two simple numeric examples are given in the form of a diagram.
